VIL Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 To be honest the damage may already be done! A lot of these types of malware open backdoors on your machine so even if you get rid of the program the backdoor may still be there allowing the author to re-install the program or worse. The unfortunate reality is that once something like this is detected then the only way to be 100% sure the machine is malware free is to re-build it ;0( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
